Thiago Silva’s son called up to England under-15s squad | OneFootball

Iago, a 14-year-old defender from Chelsea's youth academy, will participate in a training period but can still choose to represent Brazil in the future.

The defender Iago Silva, 14 years old, son of defender Thiago Silva, has been called up for the first time for a training period with England's under-15 team. Like his father, Iago plays as a defender and is part of Chelsea's youth categories.

The young athlete celebrated the invitation on social media, describing it as a "proud moment."

The call-up by the English team was possible because Iago has been residing in England for over five years, since Thiago Silva transferred to Chelsea in August 2020.

Despite the call-up, the participation is only for a training period at the English Federation's center, not for official matches. This means that the young defender is not yet "tied" to any national team and can choose to represent Brazil in the future if called up.
